About This Podcast
Mechanical Engineering Conversations with Leading Experts hosted by Leo AI CEO Dr. Maor Farid
This podcast speaks to mechanical engineers and engineering leaders who want clarity, practical insight, inspiration and real industry wisdom.
Dr. Maor Farid is a mechanical engineer, AI researcher and entrepreneur. He holds a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Technion – Israel Institute of Technology (graduated at 24), did post-doctoral work in applied mathematics and AI at MIT (as a Fulbright and ISEF fellow), and completed an executive program at Harvard Kennedy School.
Dr. Farid is co-founder and CEO of Leo AI, a company building domain-specific AI tools for mechanical engineers to eliminate tedious workflows and restore creative focus.
Beyond his technical and business achievements, Dr. Farid also founded Learn to Succeed, a nonprofit that empowers youth from socio-economic peripheries; his work earned him inclusion in Forbes 30 Under 30 and the Moskowitz Prize for leadership and social impact.
The goal of this podcast is to give mechanical engineers and decision-makers a place to hear honest conversations about the problems they face every day. No fluff. No vague theory. Just real business and engineering challenges and the thinking that helps teams solve them.
You will hear discussions on AI, efficiency, manufacturing constraints, and the growing demand for faster delivery without sacrificing quality.
We dive into how engineering teams transform their work with AI technologies, communicate with leadership, why projects get stuck, and how to prevent bottlenecks before they start. Every topic is grounded in the reality that engineers live every day. Limited time. Rising expectations. Complex systems that must function in the real world.
